Kiwanis continues to help keep families whole through our fight to
eliminate maternal and neonatal tetanus (MNT). Since the campaign
started, the funds we have raised will help save or protect nearly 39
million women and their future babies. Our fundraising efforts help
UNICEF implement massive immunization campaigns to protect women
and babies across the globe. Earlier this year, approximately 1.5
million women of reproductive age were immunized in Haiti and more than 1.3 million additional women were
protected from tetanus in the Democratic Republic of the Congo.
As we begin the 2014-2015 Kiwanis year, the campaign’s Year of Celebration and Kiwanis’ centennial year, we
celebrate an exciting Year of Achievement.
Here are a few highlights from the past 12 months:
• In the last year, The Eliminate Project has increased giving by more than US$30 million, which will help
save or protect at least 16.9 million women and their future babies from MNT.
• We surpassed our halfway point of US$55 million during the Kiwanis International convention in Chiba, Japan.
• We documented our first US$1 million gift from a Kiwanis member in January 2014. • We received an incredibly generous US$7 million gift from the Taiwan District. The district-wide commitment was a milestone for our campaign.
• Our partners at the U.S. Fund for UNICEF committed to raise an additional US$7.2 million for The
Eliminate Project, bringing their total contribution to US$15 million. • Madagascar and Lao People’s Democratic Republic eliminated MNT. There are now 35 countries that have eliminated this disease and 24 countries where MNT remains a threat.
• Service Leadership Programs surpassed US$3 million raised for The Eliminate Project.
Let’s keep the momentum going. You can make an impact during the Year of Celebration. Here are some tips to
increase fundraising and make 2014-2015 a year full of celebration. • Celebrate Kiwanis’ 100th anniversary with a gift to The Eliminate Project. Donors may make gifts for the Centennial Award between now and June 30, 2015. Presentation of the Centennial Award will begin in January 2015.
A group of Kiwanians will travel to Lao People’s Democratic Republic in November to witness UNICEF-led
efforts. Keep an eye out for their stories and photos to share with your club. The faces in their photos represent
the millions of women and babies Kiwanis will help through The Eliminate Project.
The Mother’s Day/International Women’s Day Zeller Fellowship will be available once again beginning in
March. Honor an extraordinary woman in your life—by protecting the connection between millions of mothers
and babies in more than 24 countries around the world.
Fulfilling our promise to protect millions of newborns’ lives—and millions of mothers from broken hearts—depends on
the passion and hard work of every member of the Kiwanis family. We need everyone participating in every district
and club.
Help Kiwanis make history. Set a personal fundraising goal, make a multi-year commitment and encourage your club
to participate. Give today. Remember, the sooner you give, the sooner lifesaving tetanus vaccines can be administered.
